"#YesAllWomen" seems to me to be twitter-speak for "promote a false dichotomy." To claim that women ought to act with modesty is not to excuse men from acting with decency. Is it unfortunate that women risk facing actual consequences for their immodesty, but men get off scot-free for their indecency? Yes, but that does not change the fact of it. The result of this and so many other "feminist" attempts to shift all blame to men has a curious effect: men will be increasingly treated as if potential (or actual) rapists in all things except for the affording of some amount of caution by women. Strange times are these, when a woman is encouraged to provoke the supposed potential rapist and the cry out in anger if he rewards her provocation (whether with intercourse or merely words and a lustful look).
And, as an alternative, there's this.
We may be pessimists, but we are prepared to give an account of our hope. We may be skeptics, but we are ever faithful. We may look down with sorrow on the human condition--but this sorrow begets charity. We are heralds of the dusk, but like watchmen we await the new dawn.
Contra Mozilla
[close]
Firefox users we wanted to take this space to let you know what Mozilla, the company that makes Firefox has been doing, and it's not good. Mozilla recently forced its CEO to resign because he had, 6 years ago, donated $1,000 to a pro-family political group. Apparently Mozilla is intolerant of anyone that disagrees with their Liberal/progressive view of politics. To read more please visit WhyFirefoxIsBlocked.com. We aren't blocking Firefox, but we feel it is important to let you know what's going on. For those who are curious, the reason why we are not blocking firefox is that the script to do so also blocks a variety of firefox alternatives, such as IceDragon and others which are similar to firefox and based on the same open-source code. We do think it is important to push back on this issue: for starters, you can leave firefox a comment here. You can also switch to another browser: here are six more free browsers (besides IceDragon) which are supposed to be similar to FireFox (because they are based on the same open-source code) but which are not otherwise affiliated with Mozilla.
